    Thanks guys, finally I could put my "making-wonderful-art-while-bored-in-the-train"-skills to use. :D/

    That's actually an interesting story, Jacob!
    It would actually be nice to have a magical Petromax from 1800 that magically attracts rice. Maybe a magical rice attracting East India Trading Company stove so you can make some curry without the hassle of buying rice would be even better?

    "I still think that he, and the very first person in this thread, are one and the same person, too. In any case, the entire thing seems like a sort of scam,"

    Total agreement esspecialy when the seller has post count 1 and buyer? 2 posts in the same thread.

    As Lewis Carrol would say "Off with there heads"

    As the unofficial yet self appointed semi-correct CCS grammar and spelling expoit, American Sector:

    there= in that place.
    their= belonging to them.

    OK Gerry, what is 'expoit'?

    Tony, I think it should be, 'Off with the heads belonging to them.' :D

    expoit = expert, said in the Curly from the Three Stooges and/or Bugs Bunny voice.

    You missed out:-

    they're (often mispronounced as their/there and therefore phonetically spelled as such) - they are.

    The other one that boils my p!ss is:-

    your - belonging to you
    you're - an elision (I think that's the word) of 'you are'. The apostrophe indicates the place of the missing letter. It ain't rocket science... :whistle:

    Now I need to lie down... :p
